Re: Surefire Hellfighter (picture intensive)

I have recently acquired a Hellfire/Hellfighter whatever name you want to use.

The unit did not come with a charger for the bren tronics rechargeable batteries (2) that came with it.

My quandry is I have a weekend outing coming up this next weekend. I really would like to use the light for this planned outing.

I am willing to buy a charger or a conversion that I saw on this thread. Any idea who makes the smaller batteries seen earlier in this thread?

Please allow for my ignorance as I am new to this awesome unit. Fun thing is I got to see it plugged into the car.....that wet my whistle to really see this thing on the go!

Welcome to CPF 96hmco.

I believe you may be referring to the A123 Pack I made ("smaller batteries seen earlier..."). Any battery pack with the right voltage and current capacity will do. There are many hobby stores which sell lithium ion packs of different capacities. If you just want to charge the BB-2590/U see post 1 using a regulated power supply, etc.
There are also some Brentronics chargers available on ebay right now.
Have fun.

Thread Resurrection!

Need some clarification here... I've been seeing photos of the HellFire/HellFighter with two types of reflectors it seems... one with an orange-peel like finish, and the other with a more polished mirror-like finish.

Seems like the mirror-like finish reflector is used when the light was re-named to HellFighter?

Also two huge thumbs up to ShortArc for this hugely informative post for to-be/current HellFire/HellFighter owners (:

Or can civilians??

It makes more sense to order Hellfighters for use on specific weapons systems (discussing this with a specialist at SureFire to tailor-make the package as there are plenty of options) and these systems are usually used by military and law enforcement types.

That said, I don't believe there is anything preventing you ordering a Hellfighter and the accessories you need through a SureFire Dealer.
The 2009 Tactical Products catalog is helpful for working through the various options.

I don't agree since I thought your pictures were great as well as Short-arc's gifs. Nice variety of lights and locations, with perhaps the only thing missing being some long range pictures. I love that thread.
